zebra: I've never been specific on engineering alone. Accounting/accountancy is another course to also talk about here. FYI, there are practical sessions in accountancy in the polytechnics in case u don't know. Have u also wondered why they have to do 1 year industrial training before completing the HND program? I'm not sure I'd like to call "balancing an account sheet", practical |

destino24: Op, additional research just proved this whole topic wrongA Higher National Diploma (HND) is a higher education qualification of the United Kingdom.[1] A qualification of the same title is also offered in Malta,[2] Nigeria,[3] and some other countries with British ties. This qualification can be used to gain entry into universities at an advanced level, and is considered equivalent to the second year of a three year university degree course.Nigeria doesn't run her HND program that way. In Nigeria HND is 4 academic years plus one year IT. Bsc is 4 academic years also. |

The UK does not accept it because of the name. |

Maybe when we start running the US system then we can accept it as being equal 1 Like |

dejt4u:Done with what? No body is saying that HND and Bsc are the same. U guys should take it easy and try to understand the issue raised. Nigerian HND is not like what u see in that link. In nigeria HND takes 4 academic years plus 1 year internship. The WES in the US evaluates certificates from other countries to determine their equivalence with the US BS Degrees. Some Nigerian HND certificates have been evaluated and given the equivalence of a US BS Degree based on relevant credit units and some of them have been given admission for MS programs. If the US can recognize the Nigerian HND as equivalent to a US BS Degree, why can't nigeria do same? Mind u some Nigerian Bsc and HND results have been relegated by WES as not equivalent to a US BS Degree. 5 Likes |

U must have 2 yrs ND plus 1 yr internship to qualify u to do 2 yrs HND in nigeria which makes it 5 yrs. There is a difference in the UK and nigerian HND system. The ND is just like an associate degree in the US also. 8 Likes |

HND is a continuation program of OND just like M.Sc is to B.Sc(which is optional). So I see no basis for argument here, the answer to your question is bolded in ur post. Now to the topic, its pure fiction to use WES evaluation in Nigeria as they don't know the reality here. I see comparation of University 1st degree and an HND as an eyesore, that needs no debate, argument or deliberation. 3 Likes |

Nigerians are always confused and are found of attaching value where none exists! To the best of my knowledge, polytechnic graduates beat their university counterparts in vocational and technical courses any day, any time. The universities should even be proud they are equated to polytechnics...SMH! 11 Likes |

When did hnd stop being equivalent to a bsc? At least in most disciplines, don't know about engineering. |

zebra: Please, if World Educational Services (WES), a US educational evaluation agency could evaluate a Nigerian HND certificate and say it is equivalent to a 4-year Bsc Degree, what then is the problem of Nigeria and Nigerians? Many HND holders have had their transcripts evaluated by WES and the outcomes have been that the Nigerian HND is equivalent to a Bsc Degree. What then is making Nigeria to still discriminate against Nigerian HND holders? Try evaluating ur Bsc or HND certificate with www.wes.org and see. Or, is it that they don't know what they are doing?So WES should be used as a yardstick? |
